Leaving Estonia

Teaching American Football

Here we are in Freedom Square trying to teach some Estonian teens how to play American Football. They haven't quite got it yet, but we are all having fun.

Pastor Nathan Shares Jesus With Teens in Estonia

Pastor Nathan and I bought three footballs and started a mini-sports camp to share Christ. The first day we had four kids, played football and told them about Jesus. The second day we had eleven. The third day there were 36!!

We are standing in Freedom Square in Tallinn, Estonia. These teens are probably hearing some basic truths about God that they have never heard before. In the video you will hear some of the kids affirm what Pastor Nathan is saying. They are the kids we had talked to the previous days.

Last Day

Our last full day. Evangelism at the train station, football clinic evangelism this afternoon, and coffee shop group this evening. Plus, whatever other divine appointments the Lord has on store for us.

Sharing Christ In Music

Great day today. In this video Zach and Abbie are in a town square which dates from the 14th century (I think). They are on the steps of an ancient building and basically playing songs about the gospel. There were a couple of songs that they did that were pretty much the entire gospel. Several people stopped and listened to every word of the song. They basically got to use the talents that God has given them(music) and shared Christ with people. Amazing! God can use us if we are just available.

Colton Lino On Mission

Colton on his first mission trip with his dad. He has been tearing it up, handing out tracts to any and everyone he can. In this video he passes one out to a man, and then the train engineer opens the window and asks for two of the tracts from Colton as well. If this doesn't inspire you to get out of your comfort zone for Christ, nothing will!

Steet Performance

This morning we went to a train station. Zach and Abbie busted out the guitar and did some incredible music on the street. As people would pass by we would hand out fliers/tracts to them. All kinds of people came by; young, old, sober, not so sober...it was very interesting and productive.

By the way, Zach and Abbie are incredible!

What's For Breakfast

We are having church here in a side room of a church building that is close to 700 years old. We are half way around the world, in a foreign country with people, wait, I guess we are the foreigners. What could we possibly have in common? The Lord Jesus Christ saved us by His grace. That is something we have in common and for which we can join together to worship our Savior.

Day 1 Report

Overlooking Old Town Tallinn

Made It

OK, we are in Tallinn, Estonia. It was a long trip but we made it. Thanks for all the prayers, God is good. I was awake for about 32 hours with only one and half hour nap on the flight. So, we were tired. We finally got some sleep last night. Today our goal is to get our legs underneath us, do some orientation, planning, praying for all the work that comes next week. We will also get to meet and know the Thompsons and the rest of the team from Houston.
